Allied Machine and Engineering, a leading manufacturer of holemaking and finishing cutting tools for the metal-cutting industry, announced that Chris Best has been promoted to Eastern regional manager.
Leveraging strong partnerships with distributors and end users, Best said he looks to drive sustainable sales growth in the Eastern region and serve as both a leader and a resource to strengthen market presence, create new opportunities and ensure long-term success for the sales team and customers.
Best began his career at Allied Machine as a field sales engineer in Western Pennsylvania. Following this, he became an application specialist where he worked with field sales engineers on key accounts and projects in addition to liaising on projects requiring custom tooling. With vast technical knowledge from his previous positions, Best hopes to support career development and provide mentorship opportunities to the talented team in his region.
“I’ve had the privilege of building a long tenure with colleagues across the Eastern region, and I value the strong relationships we’ve developed over the years," said Best. "I look forward to continuing that collaboration while also supporting the growth of newer FSEs, sharing the knowledge and experience I’ve gained to help them advance in their careers.”
